Publisher's Synopsis
There is nothing in embracing traditional forms that prevents a poet from achieving depth, conviction, and beauty. James Miller's Walkways has all those qualities. He also uses free verse to embrace nature and uses the mysteries of the sea and earth to approach life and the divine. His heart and sensitive spirit energize his poems and lift them to a state of transcendence. He makes walking along the shoreline or listening to waves an experience that is the pathway to love and the love of God. Memory and tender affection are the wellsprings of his art. His poems move us and lead us to think of the world and of people in fresh and vivid ways.
